The only thing I would like to add is the possibility of wind during the summer.

If you look at Aug and Sept for example, that is peak hurricane season. Now I'm not saying go out in a hurricane, however a Low pressure system nearby can bring some epic conditions and epic surf. I don't teach unless its blowing 15 or more, and I checked my records, and I did quite a bit of teaching this past August for example.

I have seen some pretty dead periods any time of year for that matter.

But there is no question the chance of getting out is higher in fall/winter/spring.

My take on wind speed is 10knts does suck, but 12/13 or more, well....a fun session can be had. I do some really beautiful downwinders in these windspeeds alot during the warmer months and as they say, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder".
